» Policies

A complete list if policies and regulations may be obtained from the district office. Important provisions include:

Purchase of Cemetery Rights

Interment Rights may be purchased at the business office located on the cemetery grounds.
The terms of the sale are cash or check.
An Endowment Care fee will be charged for the perpetual care of the cemetery grounds.
A certificate of ownership of Interment Rights will be issued to the purchaser within thirty (30) days.
Ownership of Interment Rights is non-transferable and it may only be sold back to the District at the original purchase price. The Endowment Care fee is non-refundable.

Interment Scheduling

At least two-business days notice is required to schedule an interment.
Interment costs must be paid before the interment is scheduled.
Full-casket burial services are generally scheduled between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Cremation services may be scheduled between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Please confirm that a time is available at the cemetery before scheduling the service.
Saturday services may be scheduled for an additional fee, depending on availability of staff.
The power of attorney holder or closest surviving family member must sign an interment authorization.

Grave Markers and Monuments

The cemetery does not sell grave markers or monuments, but can provide referrals to local monument companies.
Only one marker or monument is permitted per gravesite. We have flat marker sections, raised monument sections and mixed marker sections.
Cemetery staff will order veteran’s markers and monuments. These are paid for by the Veteran’s Administration. There will be a marker installation fee.
Grave markers and monuments must conform to size restrictions. Cemetery staff must approve all monuments. A drawing of the monument, including dimensions, should be mailed or faxed to the cemetery office for prior approval.
Cemetery staff sets flat markers after payment of a setting fee, but monument companies are responsible for setting raised monuments. If a monument company is not familiar with our rules and procedures, they should contact us before producing the monument or marker.

While some exceptions may be made to match existing family markers or monuments in the old sections of the cemetery, the following restrictions generally apply:

Raised Monuments

Height: 36” maximum including the base, or 42” for monuments provided by the Veteran’s Administration.
Width: 34” maximum if centered on one grave, 48” over two graves, and 54” over three or more graves.
Thickness: 12” maximum.
Monuments must have an appropriate foundation including a four-inch mow strip around the base.
Vase holes in monument bases are allowed but not recommended. Vase holes or attached vases must have drainage holes to prevent water accumulation. Flower cup inserts must be inverted when not in use.

Flat Markers

Three sizes are allowed: 12” x 24”, 16” x 28”, or 20” x 28”.
Thickness should be 3” except for markers supplied by the Veteran’s Administration.
All markers must have saw-cut edges. Holes for flower vases are not allowed.
Path and memorial graves are limited to 12” x 24” markers.

Flower and Grave Decoration Policy

Only live cut flowers and small potted plants are allowed as grave decorations. All cut flowers and potted plants are removed every Thursday. Healthy potted plants may be left at the discretion of cemetery and mow crew personnel if they do not interfere with grounds-keeping work. Cut flowers will not be left. Please see the Visiting webpage for more information about the grave decoration policy.
